Project for 2011

I know it´s still a bit early to make plans for the new year, but I had a great idea today and wanted to share it with you.

I am all into vintage patterns right now and ordered some. Then I thought, when will you really make these gorgeous dresses. So I decided to sew one each month from next March on (ten patterns for ten months).

Here are the patterns. Two of them were already in my pattern stash.

Now I am waiting for the rest to arrive. One is here already. It feels so great to have something so old.

Making Rococo: Stays - Progress

Sorry, one day late.

I cut my stays fabric some weeks ago, but never got to come further. So today I finally draw the lines for the casing. I know it´s no big progress, but I hope little by little the stays will be finished soon.

Challenge: Sew a scrunchie each week till the end of the year

I love sewing scrunchies, it´s easy and quick and a great way to use up scraps (and you all know I have too many scraps). And I use them a lot. So I thought as an easy challenge I will sew one each week for the rest of the year.

And this is the first one:

I have the feeling I almost made nothing, but this is not competely true. I started two things I did not finish (my Rococo stays and a blouse for our Halloween party). Shame on me. And here is the rest:

- hair curler
